WY Company Profile

Weyerhaeuser Company (WY) is a forestry products company. It engages in growing and harvesting timber, as well as in the manufacture, distribution, and sale of forestry products, primarily in the United States and Canada. The company operates in five segments: Timberlands, Wood Products, Cellulose Fibers, Real Estate, and Corporate and Other. Formerly known as Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, WY was founded in 1900 and is based in Federal Way, Washington. Weyerhaeuser, despite not largely operating in real estate, is organized as a REIT. As REITs are mandated to pay out the majority of their earnings, Weyerhaeuser has a high dividend yield and payout ratio. Weyerhaeuser is largely affected by changes in commodity prices and demand for wood in the homebuilding market. Weyerhaeuser has been paying dividends since 1974, and has consistently increased them since 2012. Weyerhaeuser pays its dividends quarterly.
